The tendency to recreate ancestral CG dinucleotides in the human genome.

BMC evolutionary biology - 5 Jan 2011

Li Mingkun, Chen Su-Shing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The CG dinucleotides are known to be deficient in the human genome, due to a high mutation rate from 5-methylated CG to TG and its complementary pair CA. Meanwhile, many cellular functions rely on these CG dinucleotides, such as gene expression controlled by cytosine methylation statu...
